[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JestersTriumph:
Any idea what's wrong? I plug the phone into my computer with a USB cable, and I've also tried using the wall socket attachment, but all that happens is the phone's battery icon goes from somewhat filled blue (it's currently in the 70s percent-wise) to flashing an empty red battery icon, then back to blue, then red, etc.

What causes this? I didn't have these problems a week ago and I've changed nothing. Is it the battery? Software problem?

Taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to fix it, but I'm wondering if there is an alternative. Maybe the problem is caused by the Battery Indicator app?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
Turn phone off charge overnight then

turn it on charge it till blue light comes on.

turn it off let blue light come on

boot into recovery and wipe battery stats

This slashing red icon just happened to me last night too! I will try this now. Thanks.

Note: I am using an extended 3500 mAh battery.

Take a look at that and try rooting using flashrec. I'm not 100% sure but theoretically it should be okay. Where it tells you to download the recovery grab this version HERE
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
So you don't have market with version 1.0? To be honest never used it personally so no idea. If it has no market then simply upgrade (or as the guides tell you downgrade) to cupcake v1.5. Maybe I'm missing something but not sure what the hassle is?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
It doesn't matter what you call it, it will flash.

It's just a bad flash by the sounds of things, go here and download a new copy and re-flash.

[G Tablet General] EwanG:
Have my G-Tab running Vegan 5.1.1 (i.e. with supplement). When I am at home I have it connect to my main router, but when I head out I'd like it to be connected to my portable router (PHS-300 turning my 4G Clear into 802.11g). Ideally I'd like to turn on the PHS-300 a bit before I go, and have the G-tab automatically reconnect to that without having to manually disconnect it from the home router or wait until I'm out of range and then reconnect.

Is there a way to setup a "preferred" host? I don't want to make it "forget" the home connection since i use that daily as well.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Accessories] betabob26:
I noticed that my Nexus S has developed a couple of tiny scratches on the screen. To be honest, they're hardly noticeable, but....I was wondering if anyone has tried using any of the scratch removal products on the market and can share their experiences with them.
[Nexus S Accessories] Si_NZ:
I bought such product long ago. I'd say it's probably ok to use it on non-coated surfaces, but it will surely "sand off" the oleographic coating on your Nexus S. At least I know it works by sanding the scratch smooth so you can hardly see it. I'm not sure if there are newer/better products now though.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ramis:
Hey guys

I have a lgp500 phone and i am thinking of rooting my phone, as i hate the touchscreen bug that makes the cpu go 100%, soo laggy

anyways i have a few questions that i would like to know about rooting before i attempt it.

firstly ill start by listing my phone software etc

Android version - 2.2.1

Kernal Version - 2.6.32.9

Build Number - FRG83

Software Version - V10b-DEC-13-2010

and now my questions

1. Well the most obvious question. Is it possible to root my phone?

2. My main ques - What are the chances of bricking my phone? as in to a point that would leave my phone completely useless.

3.At what steps of the rooting process can the phone be bricked?

4. How does rooting work? - basically i just want to learn about everything so i know how the system works and how kernal etc work - so that i wont do anything stupid when im rooting

for now thats all, but ill probly have a alot more once i get answers to these :P

please help :)

thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] upendra_p:
first of all u will need to downgrade to android 2.2.then u can root it and enjoy!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Not yet. Android 2.2.1 is not rootable at the moment. A downgrade to v2.2 is necessary, as upendra_p said.

Chances are very small, but there are.

At the downgrade, when you have to flash the phone with a different Android version using an application that sometimes fails. But that's rare.

"Rooting" simply gives various applications wider system rights, so that they are able to perform actions otherwise forbidden, such as messing with system settings and allowing critical system files to be modified or deleted. It also is an important step needed if you decide to install a custom ROM -- a modified and (usually) improved version of Android.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vault1965:
Rooting is not for the faint of the heart ;)

However, keep in mind that you can find all the help you need on this forums...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ramis:
about the chances on bricking my phone, i understand they are small

but approximately how small? like a number?

i understand its different for each phone, so how much would it be for my phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] KaKkaR0T:
Well it depends on how well you read and follow the instructions.

I have installed Custom ROMs on a total of 3 phones with 100% success.

And in short Rooting is like being Administrator in Windows, you can do anything you feel like doing, even if that means bricking your device.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Stumpalump:
It's not the phone it's usually the user. You should never attempt to mess with something unless you know what you're doing. Take that from someone who actually bricked his phone by not knowing enough.

Best advice against bricking is never try to flash something that's not meant for your specific device.

And if you wanna put a number on it post your IQ. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peacekeeper05:
Ahmmm... i just used z4root and in just one click, im already rooted. Very easy XD. The part where you should be cautious about is flashing back to android 2.2 that is where a lot of p500 get brick. Just read the forums more.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sam811:
@OP, just take note of the important steps & thing you should check before proceeding like turning LG modem off in device manager. though my friends have downgraded even without checking that option, its always better to follow the instruction to be safe.

& also after rooting, take your time when installing custom recovery. it is also responsible for bricking quite a few mobiles. i'll advice copy paste the commands to avoid any typo.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I'm trying to decide on a tablet for myself.

Thought about the nook but the 7" screen dissuaded me.

Specs:

G http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/spec.htm

10s http://ap.viewsonic.com/za/products/viewpad/viewpad10s/specs.php

Now I'm down to the G Tablet ($360) and the ViewPad 10s ($399)

10s to GTablet Comparison: (legend: + Pro, - Con, ? unknown)

+ seems to have a better screen (larger viewing angles)

+ HDMI port

- 512MB internal flash (not too bad if apps2sdext is possible)

- Lesser capacity battery (3300 vs 3650 mAh)

? developer support ? will there be a xda forum and support (ROMs)

Other questions:

The 10s has an accelerometer (g-sensor)

Does the G Tablet have an Accelometer? Magnetometer (compass)?

Please help me decide. thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detox702:
Yes accelerometer, no magnetometer.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayak83:
Doesn't the 10s have 3G connectivity as well as GPS? GPS would be nice to have, but not a necessity. And the 3G connection is a bit of overkill unless you're traveling all the time. Pretty hard to find a place nowadays without wifi.

From what I've heard, the screen in the 10s is the same as the gtablet. Or at least shares the same viewing angle concerns.

Also, I'm not sure where you're posting from, but the 10s is a Eurpoean model. but I'm sure you can get it on ebay for the US.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Thanks for your answers.

I dont need 3G coz my Nexus can tether for free :), same reason I dont need another GPS too.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashred:
I'm pretty confused....

So from the hours of research that I have done, from what I understand (and correct me if i'm wrong) there are 3 tablets coming out from Viewsonic. . . The Viewpad 10, Viewpad 10s (European and Asian markets), and a Viewpad 10 Pro.

From what I have read, the 10 Pro will also be dual boot, Windows 7 and Android 2.2. The one thing that confuses me besides all of the mixed information out there, is that....

1) Android 2.2 will be native (dual boot).

2) Android 2.2 will "work within a VM" which is launched within Windows 7.

Has anyone else closely researched Viewsonic's new tablet lineup?

Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.volosyuk:
The major difference between the G Tablet and Viewpad is CPU. For G Tablet we have Tegra2 which will be a reference design for Android 3. Viewpad should be using Intel Atom CPU to be able to run Windows7. I think it will have much worse support from xda. So if you want Windows and terrible battery live - choose Viewpad. If you want Android 3 Honeycomb - G Tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipovich:
Wrong...

The 10S version of the viewpad has a tegra cpu just like the gtablet..Some places are actually calling it a gtab2 and/or the euro gtab only because it has a few additional features but supposedly a similar screen... maybe these links will help. Good luck, hope this all helps.

http://www.greatereader.org/?p=11791

http://www.jr.com/viewsonic/pe/VIW_VIEWPAD10S/

So, in essence the 10S is the same as the gTab with a few extra features at roughly the same price...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cutterjohn:
I wouldn't go with the x86 tablet. Just about all current Android devices are ARM CPU based and ANY apps that make use of the native development environment just won't work on non-ARM CPUs. (Actually I'm guessing that most devs will restrict to ARMv7 anyways -> cortex-a8 & -a9 based systems only but these are the only ones worth buying anyways...)

I wonder why they kneecapped internal storage for the 10s? I read this a while back and IIRC it said 4GB at that time... About the only thing that I'd like from it is higher cap batt... be even better if it was 5k but...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagbro:
No, Windows 7 wouldn't run on ARM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashred:
That is correct, and also the reason why I would like to go with one of these Viewpads that can boot (or VM) Windows 7 and Android 2.2

I haven't posted much (so i'm restricted) on here otherwise I would add a few links to the demonstrations I have seen on the 'tube. If you do a search for Viewpad 10 pro, you will see Android being launched in a VM of sorts. It's very interesting to me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipovich:
I think ya'll are confusing your models so here's a breakdown to clear things up a little.

Viewpad 10 = Intel CPU with Windows and Android OS (dual-boot)

Viewpad 10 Pro = Intel CPU running Windows primarily with the capability of launching Android from a VM within Windows

Viewpad 10S = Tegra CPU running only Android OS

The OP is asking about the 10S not the other models that ya'll keep confusing into the mix. The 10S, like I said before, is basically a gTab with a few extra features but smaller internal storage for roughly the same price. I hope this clears things up a bit.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayak83:
Looking at the picture of the 10s leads me to believe the screen is no better than the gtablet. It has the same frame around it. And from the internal pictures/write-ups I've seen on the gtablet there has always been plenty of room left for them to simply "upgrade" it a little with 3G and GPS.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spike378:
I did a lil research too. I saw videos of it at CES and the viewing angles looks the same as g tablet video I saw. My g tablet coming in soon but I dont know if I should refuse the shipment and wait for viewpad 10s.

So far 10s has

hdmi

2x usb port

glossy back.

buttons disappear on the front with return button near power on the side

2 models: 3g+GPS or Wifi only

g-tablet over 10s is

bigger battery

buttons

cheaper

The screen looks the same. The people did the viewpad 10s video didnt even mention anything about g-tablet or about the viewing angle. Anyone have info on this?

Glossy back is a down if you're like me and OCD about prints on your electronics.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C0BRA01:
G Tablet

I went and looked at one, and the screen is definitely a concern to me. Are there any versions of these that don't have the screen like that? Dark when you look at it from an angle top pointed away? I see its sort of backwards, and looks brighter when the top is pointed towards you. Very odd.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] grant365:
My company which uses lotus traveler to enable access to corporate mail and calendar on WM devices. I installed this on my HTC HD running WM6.5 (Dutty Leo ROM). The installation has forcing us to use strong alphanumeric passwords and also greyed out the "prompt if unused for" radio button where you would typically turn off the phone password locking. This has rendering the phone virtually unusable as it takes 3 mins to enter a strong alpha password each time you use the phone...brilliant!

Is there a hack/registry edit that I can use to un-grey this button so I can turn it off and start using my phone normally again.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiiro:
It's probably not related to the Lotus Traveller itself, but with the company enforced policies included in the CAB file - I presume You got the CAB from the company, not the Lotus/IBM website. At least that was the case in our company, that they forced to use the simple PIN lock with Exchange sync - I was already bothered by the simple PIN, so I dropped the whole idea. But I suggest You take a look in the CAB file, if You can still get it and see what changes does it make in the registry. Or You can also ask from Your company IT guys about the WM policies they have to enforce, they should know.

Anyway, hope You have some directions to go now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] grant365:
Thanks for the suggestions....

1) I tried removing the lotus traveler application - this had the effect of removing the security enforcement. I reinstalled it and it was enforced again.

2) The traveler application launches automatically when the phone boots up. So I removed it from the startup sequence. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem. So I think there must be a registry setting somewhere that is set and monitored by the application.

3) I also looked in the setup.xml file that was in the traveler.cab installation file. I could not find any registry mods that were related to security.

4) The traveler release notes say the following: Customizable device password strength enforcement rules!

Traveler provides a built-in set of default device preferences and security settings that an administrator can modify for use when a device initially registers with Lotus Notes Traveler. The default device settings for users come from the Traveler administration database default device settings document. Users can change their device preference settings from their devices, but only an Traveler administrator can change device security settings.

Suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] grant365:
In the last few days I have browsed the registry quite thoroughly and there doesn't appear to be key that controls whether radio buttons are active or not (greyed out). I was hoping to make the "prompt if unused for" radio button active again so I could manually switch it off.

I'm out of ideas....any suggestions pls

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paulbenwell:
Security Policy

Hi

I am a Notes admin and can confirm this is a polcy that has been set to secure company data on mobile devices. Most companies have a policy that requires company information/access be secured especially on things like mobile devices.

Think about it, your company email system would be available to anyone stealing or finding your phone. While this may not worry you, it could be a cause for concern for your company executives or auditors - and could be a compliance issue in many industries.

The policy is set on the email server itself and pushed down and enforced on the device so it cannot be bypassed.

To remove it or get a less secure PIN you will need to speak to your company Lotus Notes admin.

This is an issue I have seen before and can cause conflicts between employees who use their own phones and resent the way they use them being changed and those concerned with securing and protecting their company.

Hope that helps but the long and short is speak to your email admins. The security policy is not default so someone must have set it up that way for a reason.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kirangarapati:
MIUI used to have an option to disable the password option even when it is enabled/enforced by Notes Traveler. However the new versions of miui do not have this.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
You did a nand backup before flashing Megatron, right? If so, you should boot in recovery using Home + Vol Down + Power and restore it from there. If not, you have no alternative but flashing the rom again (or any other rom). Be sure to wipe everything from recovery before that.

If that fails, you should get the official rom for your location and flash it with kdz (there is a very well done guide here on XDA for doing that, search for it).

And consider flashing Void next time, is more stable and has the same features (and more) as Megatron (hwacc, jit, oc, stagefright etc).

In any case, if the phone boots, even if gets stuck on LG splash screen, it is not bricked. It can be re-flashed easily, just follow the steps in the guides.
